AC 28 Duplicated Libary Parts

Llian

This duplicate or/and missing library part issue comes up after every upgrade. 

I watched the youtube but still can't understand how to remove the duplicate library part. 

Here's the screenshot and would appreciate someone can help me to remove this warning.

AC 28 is different from other versions because of the library system (global library) where as you need to load all the libraries you needed compared to last time where by default it will load all the library which they called the monolith library. I think the reason why Graphisoft did this is for the future updates with the library parts so it will be easier to push updates then we will just load it whenever there is an update.

 

Quite straightforward if you are starting a new project with AC28 just load the Global library.

If you are migrating an old project like in AC27 below it might be challenging because you need to reassign all the libraries in the project with the new AC28 Global library (which is advisable), if not there always a AC28 monolith library and migration library that you need to load.

 

This is the general idea of it I hope it helps you. 😎

In the end what is your Objective?
ArchiCAD 9 onwards

I can’t see the screenshot either but I assume it relates to the tolerance object. This is now built in to Archicad 28 and loading the Archicad 28 Library, (monolithic version which is actually a copy of the Archicad 27 Library), causes the duplicate. Graphisoft are aware and are looking to fix it I believe.
